A few hours of an software engineer's time at Pentax, once, for a
firmware upgrade.
The aperture coupling requires the same, plus a hardware redesign,
plus an (albeit likely small) per-unit increase in hardware cost.
Don't get me wrong... I'm a big proponent of putting the sucker
back in. It's just that if they are hell-bent on NOT putting it in, a few
more operational choices would help some of the current shortcomings.
